Meanies

You know, I just find that this whole Somali pirates thing is just killing my pirate buzz. It's hard to maintain your romantic, Jack Sparrow and Errol Flynn induced warm fuzzies about charming pirates who sail the high seas in pursuit of rum and wenches and lace cuffs, when people are out there kidnapping and killing people and stealing stuff. I mean, dude. That's just not cool. There's being a pirate and there's being a pirate.

I mean, I had always thought that if I wanted to get out of the rat race, piracy was a valid career path. You know. Swinging from yardarms. Firing cannons. Singing drinking songs. Wearing thigh high boots without having to be a hooker. Using "avast" in everyday conversation. But if I have to actually shoot people, that's no fun. That's like going from one rat race to another. With guns.

I wish those people would jsut stop ruining it for me.
